The Arran Malt Lochranza Reserve Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml Bottle

For the cash I was not frustrated with this. A decent ordinary consumer that I like better than Glenlivet 12.

Arran tasting night at The Oak Barrel Sydney 12 July 2019. Whisky #1 Nose: Light fragrant oat with a bread quality and vanilla notes (suggestive of vanilla macaroons or langue de talk). Mellow citrus apple and a small trace of sea salt water. Sense of taste: A shimmering sweet oat appearance and a dry malty improvement however the general impression is of a lean brilliant pleasantness. The dry notes resolve to exquisite zesty tones. The surface is fine yet not especially vital. Finish: Medium/short. Grain notes blurring into a marginally briny/spiced lingering flavor. The whisky has a clean and freshly dry establishment with sweet top-notes. It contains 7-multi year old soul that is generally developed in top off whiskey barrels. It's a light and reviving malt useful for summer and presumably decent in a long Japanese-style highball. The main thing especially conflicting with it is the value point at which it is totally outmatched by a few notable single malts of extraordinary character. I last explored this several years back - there have been no progressions at all in the profile and my rating is the equivalent. Better than expected" : 3 stars"
